DeFlock: How we fight back against FLOCK #flock #flocksafety #flockcameras
The short version: David Echeverria's short spotlights DeFlock's crowdsourced pushback as Flock's ALPR network keeps expanding into neighborhoods with little public debate.
Our Take
David Echeverria's clip is a quick reminder that the fight against Flock Safety's license plate readers isn't just happening in city council chambers — it's happening on YouTube, in group chats, and on crowdsourced maps built by regular people who noticed a strange camera on a pole and started asking questions. That's the whole spirit of DeFlock: turn scattered local discoveries into a national picture of how fast this surveillance grid is growing.
The video doesn't need slick production values to make the point. Flock cameras are multiplying in towns that never held a real public vote on whether they wanted a database logging every car that passes, and most residents have no idea the tech even exists until someone points a phone at the pole. Content like this — short, direct, shareable — does more to raise awareness than another city council PDF buried on page nine of an agenda packet.
If this clip got your attention, take the next step: check our map to see what's already been documented near you, and if you're ready to push back locally, our take-action page has the tools to get started.
